Short and sweet, kind of.
What I was doing ten years ago: I had just started my senior year at Farmington High School in Michigan. I was working at my first job as a server at Bill Knapps. I was also applying to Ricks College and BYU.
What I was doing 5 years ago: Let's see 2002...I graduated (on time baby!) from BYU in Sociology in the Spring and in then in the Fall, end of Sept, we had just come back from Boise, Idaho for our nephew Nathan's blessing. I was super huge and ready to give birth to Clay in just 4 weeks. Rylee was almost 16 mos and ran the house. Ryan was starting his senior year at the Y in Economics.
One Year Ago: We (Ryan, me, Rylee, Clay, Kaycee and Lucy) were living in Mom and Dad Hunt's basement as we had rented out our condo and were waiting to close on a house. Kaycee was recovery nicely from her tonsillectomy and I was driving to and fro dropping off and picking up Rylee from Kindergarten. Ryan was working at REMAX for Protiviti and I was trying to get a handle on toting four children around.
Yesterday: We took Rylee to school at 9, Clay at 9:30 and then headed over to the condo to make sure the fans were still drying the carpet. (yeah, so I went over to the condo on Saturday to check things out before our two showings scheduled that day, only to find a running and leaking toilet tank. WATER EVERYWHERE!! The bathroom floor had an inch of water on it and the carpet was completely soaked past the vanity area, closet and into half the master bedroom. YAY. Who knows how long it was leaking. Anyways, Ryan and I sucked up about 10 gallons of water and then pulled the carpet back to dry it and the pad out. Thankfully, everything is okay now, the carpet laid back down nicely, yet we still missed the two showings...bummer.) Back to yesterday, we came home and then picked Clay up at noon and Rylee later on at 3:40. Then calling Ryan to tell him we have water under our new hardwood floor. Our darn dishwasher! We ate dinner while waiting for Ryan to come home. Then after an hour of getting kids in pj's and watching Chuck (still waiting for Ryan) we said prayers and went to bed. After checking in on the condo, Ryan came home at 9pm. Long day for him, poor guy. I crashed around 10pm.
5 Snacks I Enjoy: Candy (sweet and sour), snap peas, rice krispie treats, Swiss Rolls, anything else with sugar or chocolate (or both!).
5 things I would do if I had $100 Million: Pay off our houses, buy some more houses and hire all the work to be done, buy a bigger vehicle (or two), buy a cabin and a boat, and put away a bunch for my kids and for Ryan and me.
5 Places I would run away to: I would love to go back to Hawaii with Ryan. And then anywhere where someone would take care of me and I wouldn't have to "lift a finger." Just a nice relaxing, stress-free environment.
5 TV Shows I Like: America's Test Kitchen, Everyday Food, Law and Order: SVU, The Office (with Ryan) and King of Queens.
5 Things I hate doing: LAUNDRY! It's the thorn in my side! It's never ending! Waking up tired. Paying bills (watching money going down the drain!) Weeding and yard work. Yuck!
5 Biggest Joys of the moment: my family, going to bed, eating delicious food/treats, feeling well, having hot chocolate with toast listening to Christmas music - love it!
